Over the past decade, the generation of wastewater by the industry sector in Denmark experienced notable fluctuations. From 2013 to 2023, values varied with both increases and decreases. The highest value was recorded in 2018, whereas the smallest value stood in 2023 at 55.61 million cubic meters. Year-on-year variations demonstrate the volatility in the data, with a significant drop of 8.89% in 2017 and a notable rise of 9.79% in 2018. However, the recent trend indicates a consistent decline, with a year-on-year decrease of 1.37% observed in 2023.
Newly forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a continuation of this downward trend, with the expected value decreasing to 53.32 million cubic meters by 2028. The average annual decline over the next five years (CAGR) is projected to be -0.61%, representing a total anticipated reduction of 3%.
- The 5-year historical CAGR up to 2023 was -2.84%, illustrating a consistent reduction in wastewater generation over this period.
- Future trends to watch for: advanced wastewater treatment technologies, regulatory changes, and industrial shifts towards sustainable practices might influence future wastewater generation volumes.
